William and his wife Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, visited Army Training Centre Pirbright in Surrey on Friday afternoon where they spoke with Commonwealth troops participating in the procession on Monday.

The couple also told of how “strange” it has been going from the Queen’s platinum jubilee to her funeral in a matter of months.
